This car is the first step in the right direction for passenger cars, and it's a big step. And I agree with Angry Amish...he's scared. Toyota did the same thing when this was announced: "they can't do it. The batteries don't exist, they're crazy." HMF!! There's numerous pre-production cars rolling around GM's testing facilites right now, this isn't a joke or a dream!
For the first few years, the car will only cost around $32,500 with the gov't rebate. And with all the features and luxury ameneties, that's only a few thousand more expensive than a high-end Impala or Camry. The difference? This thing uses next to no gasoline, and is the most practical electric vehicle out of the industry to date.
Not everyone who buys a Hybrid/EV fits into any one category. I wouldn't be caught dead in an Insight, or a Prius...I'm nonplussed about the Tahoe hybrid, and I think the taurus Hybrid is neat...but how about I tell you that I'm as excited about this car as I am about a hypothetical Z28 Camaro or a C7 Vette? And that when the Cobalt dies, I expect this car to replace it?!
